Tottenham will give Harry Kane a special gift a year after his heartbreaking £82m exit
Bayern Munich duo Harry Kane and Eric Dier will be honoured by Tottenham Hotspur ahead of a friendly between the clubs.
Tottenham will host the German giants on Saturday as Angel PostecoglouThe team is finalizing preparations for the 24/25 Premier league Campaign.
However, the main plot is undoubtedly the return of Kane and Dier to north London for the first time since their departures last season.
The duo will receive a commemorative gift from legendary Tottenham defender Ledley King before the match. The ceremony will take place 15 minutes before kick-off at 5.30pm.
“Never before have we had the opportunity to say goodbye to two players who have made such a significant contribution to our Club in recent years,” Tottenham said in a statement.
Tottenham also encouraged fans to arrive early and be in their seats to witness the ceremony.
The match will be the second friendly between the two teams, after Bayern beat Tottenham 2-1 last Saturday at the Allianz Arena.
Dier came on in the 55th minute in place of Korean centre-back Kim Min-Jae, but Kane was not involved.
There is also no guarantee that Kane will feature in the second friendly against his former club given the back injury he had previously sustained. Euro 2024.
Kane has refused to reveal whether he came into the tournament affected by the injury, with the England captain having had uncharacteristically lacklustre performances throughout the tournament.
England's run to the final also meant Kane returned to Bayern's pre-season camp much later than his teammates, meaning he could end up featuring in just two friendlies.
Following Saturday's friendly against Tottenham, Bayern will face Austrian side WSG Tirol on Tuesday before their 24/25 season officially kicks off with a DFB Pokal clash against second-tier side SSV Ulm 1846.
